Hello, i am frozengamer, i have a request. can you add Ieaskul F. Mobenthey and https://gieskes.nl/ to VCV Rack? Please and thank you! Examples of their work: https://youtu.be/x_aiKcH-8xQ?si=WGNFfZFkQObFdsnk

I would be interested, except the module designs are pretty impenetrable. Maybe someone can figure out what goes on under the hood based on the documentation, but I sure can’t.

But there is a faithful Venom emulation of the ALA Benjolin V2, except for the resonant filter component, and that is easily added with an extra module. There are also expanders for additional Rungler gates and CV values. The documentation includes a patch link for a complete Benjolin, including the External/PWM mixer.

The Ieaskul F. Mobenthey modules are wonderful … I have the whole set and they are quite a lot of fun. Denum, Swoop and Fourses are based on a concept Peter Blasser calls bounds/bounce oscillation. Where bounds represent the upper and lower bound of the oscillation (amplitude) and bounce is the rate (frequency). The trick here is that the bounds and the frequency are interconnected, meaning, if the bound is getting “shorter” (distance between upper and lower bound) the frequency is going up. In case of the Denum (the triangle based “oscillator” in the series) this results in sounds that are a mixture of AM and FM and can get quite complex.

For anybody interessted in Ieaskul F. Mobenthey modules I can recommend watching the videos of John Macedo, CrucFx and Triangle.

And this video by Tim Cosgrove shows how wonderful rich the Denum can sound:

Edit: I would absolutely love a recreation of these in VCV Rack (or at least of the concept of bounds/bounce oscillation)

Edit 2: This here goes into that direction and is very similar to how Fourses works.

Yes, the designs of Peter Blasser are wonderful. I “only” have the wooden Cocoquantus and Plumbutter and none of the IFM modules. But occasionally I experiment with his concepts in VCV. This is also a very informative source:

Cocoquantus should be patchable from existing modules. I recall seeing patch recipes for the quantussy aspect on Muffwiggler.

… VCV Library - Frozen Wasteland Quantussy Cell

Yeah the Quantussy cell is nice! The 2 Coco’s (8bit delays) are harder to patch though…

For the interested; Richard Brewster (aka pugix) wrote some deep insights/analyses on the Cocoquantus:

Also the guide by John Singer is really nice:

can someone add the quantussy and this: Glitch Storm MK2: A DIY Bitranger-Bytebeasque-Chiptunethingo - Page 6 - MOD WIGGLER to VCV Rack

I am not a coder so I cannot develop a plugin for VCV. The concept of the quantussy is not hard to patch yourself though (and as a bonus you will really learn how it works). All you need per cell is an oscillator/lfo, 2 sample and holds and some mixers/vca’s. Then patch everything like this:

To have a quantussy you have to connect 5 of these cells in a ring. There is something more advanced going on in the hardware though, where you can switch which cell is connected to which. But to get the idea, you do not have to do this

There’s already a module in VCV implementing the “Quantussy Cell” concept:

Is there also any. versions of this on vcv rack?

13

There is a port of Cold Mac …(which I have ported to run on the 4MS MetaModule)

14

how about their other modules?

15

Can it be run at audio rate, though?
